'One or two words only, please.' The debates exhibited one thing about America: The fast pace of society and the fragmentation of its methods of communication have sent politics drifting into the choppy waters of utter absurdity. Analysis by anthonyted
CORRECTS BENNET'S TITLE TO SENATOR, INSTEAD OF FORMER SENATOR - Democratic presidential candidates, author Marianne Williamson, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, entrepreneur Andrew Yang, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, and Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif.
For this particular event, the maximum time allotted for any sort of thoughtful expression was a nice round minute. Maybe it was the otherwise frenetic nature of the debate that made its few moments of clarity so electric. They included U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris debating race with Biden in starkly personal terms; and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg accepting responsibility for failing to build a more diverse police force in his city.
The jockeying for a few words shouted over someone else’s few words grew so intense at one point Thursday night that Harris, standing at a lectern near the center of the political chorus line, was moved to turn it into a political aphorism. Biden and Sanders were spotted raising their hands tentatively as Buttigieg talked. And while it took Karl Marx years to develop his theories about socialism, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper got a single minute to explain his concerns about it.
